We have launched an e-learning easy guide to the Renters’ Rights Bill on RIAMS Libraries – available here.  

It is aimed at PSH practitioners and seeks to provide an overview of the bill, what is coming and what it will mean for enforcement teams.  

The guide is free for RIAMS Libraries subscribers. If your local authority does not subscribe, you can still access a summary version here and contact us for a free trial and demonstration of the platform.  

The Renters’ Rights Bill (RRB) is going through the parliamentary process. Once introduced, it aims to reform and transform the private rented sector in England by enhancing tenants’ rights and protections.  

The guide focuses on the areas affecting practitioners working in private sector housing (PSH) teams in England and explains the requirements as they currently stand. As the bill progresses to become the Renters’ Rights Act 2025, updates and more details will be provided.   

Jeremy Manners, Chief Editor of RIAMS, noted:  

The impact that the Renters’ Rights Bill will have on the PRS in England cannot be underestimated. It will change the way that people rent and has significant implications for local housing authorities across England. The upcoming tenancy reforms bring with them a range of new powers and duties for LHAs, requiring knowledge and resources to ensure they are applied effectively. This guide will assist practitioners in understanding the basics of the proposals, particularly around standards, enforcement and redress, so that they can prepare for the new duties that will soon be placed on them.
